Óleo CBD

O óleo CBD é um extrato natural obtido a partir da planta do cânhamo. Não contém substâncias psicoactivas e é, portanto, legal na maioria dos países.

O canabidiol é um ingrediente ativo altamente versátil e interage com o nosso sistema endocanabinóide (ECS), influenciando assim vários processos fisiológicos. Estes incluem a perceção da dor, o controlo das respostas inflamatórias e imunitárias e o processamento emocional.

Por conseguinte, o óleo CBD pode contribuir para:

• Melhorar o humor e manter o stress e a ansiedade afastados
• Melhorar a qualidade do sono
• Aliviar a dor aguda e crónica
• Acelerar a regeneração da pele
• Inibir a inflamação e aliviar a dor que lhe está associada
• Tratar o acne, o eczema e a psoríase
• Superar a dependência da nicotina e do álcool
• Reforçar o sistema imunitário
• Proteger as células nervosas e favorecer a sua regeneração

O óleo CBD pode, portanto, oferecer apoio contra uma grande variedade de perturbações, melhorando o bem-estar geral e a qualidade de vida. Além disso, não tem efeitos psicoactivos nem efeitos secundários relevantes, pelo que pode ser utilizado sem preocupações.

Existem diferentes formas de tomar o óleo CBD. Recomendamos a administração sublingual. Coloca-se o número desejado de gotas diretamente debaixo da língua, mantém-se assim durante 1-2 minutos e, finalmente, engole-se. A ideia por detrás disto: A mucosa oral já pode absorver parte dos canabinóides (por exemplo, CBD e CBG). Os restantes ingredientes activos são depois assimilados durante a digestão.

Tomar óleo de cânhamo CBD é muito fácil. O óleo transportador acastanhado pode ter um sabor desconhecido no início, mas nunca desagradável.

Um guia passo a passo para tomar óleo CBD:

Para absorver o máximo possível do valioso canabidiol, deve tomar a tintura de CBD por via oral. Já introduzimos brevemente a administração sublingual do óleo de CBD na primeira secção.

Se quiser tomar óleo de CBD, recomendamos que proceda da seguinte forma:

1. Especialmente no início, é melhor ficar em frente a um espelho. Desta forma, pode ver quantas gotas de CBD já caíram na sua boca.
   
   
2. Coloque a cabeça ligeiramente para trás, abra a boca e coloque a abertura do conta-gotas debaixo da língua levantada. Para facilitar, pode pressionar a língua contra o palato.
   
   
3. Agora aplica uma ligeira pressão na tampa do conta-gotas. O óleo CBD deve sair gota a gota.
   
   
4. Quando tiver atingido o número desejado de gotas de óleo CBD (dosagem), pode voltar a enroscar o conta-gotas no frasco.
   
   
5. Lembre-se: para tirar o máximo proveito do seu óleo CBD, não o deve engolir imediatamente, mas mantê-lo debaixo da língua durante pelo menos um minuto. Após a ingestão, recomenda-se que não coma, beba ou fume durante pelo menos 5 minutos.
   
   
6. Passado o minuto, pode engolir o restante óleo CBD. O trato gastrointestinal absorverá o resto dos canabinóides.

What to look for when shopping CBD oil

Navigating the CBD market requires discernment to ensure product quality and efficacy. Several key factors should be evaluated when selecting CBD oil to maximize potential benefits and minimize risks [Journal of Cannabis Research].

Third-party lab testing

Reputable CBD oil manufacturers provide certificates of analysis (COAs) from independent laboratories. These documents verify the product's cannabinoid profile, potency, and purity. COAs should be easily accessible and include testing for contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents [Frontiers in Plant Science].

Extraction method

The process used to extract CBD from hemp plants impacts the final product's quality. CO2 extraction is widely regarded as the gold standard, producing pure, potent CBD oil without harmful residues. Other methods, such as ethanol extraction, can also yield high-quality products when properly executed [Molecules].

Hemp source

CBD oil derived from organically grown hemp generally contains fewer contaminants and offers a purer product. Look for oils sourced from hemp cultivated in regions with strict agricultural regulations, ensuring adherence to quality standards [Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry].

Full-spectrum vs. isolate

Full-spectrum CBD oils contain a range of cannabinoids and terpenes, potentially offering enhanced benefits through the entourage effect. CBD isolates, while pure, may lack these synergistic compounds. Consider personal preferences and potential drug interactions when choosing between these options [Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research].

Concentration and pricing

Compare CBD concentration (mg per ml) across products to assess value. Higher concentrations often provide better cost-effectiveness for regular users. However, potency should align with individual needs and tolerance levels [Journal of Clinical Medicine].

By prioritizing these factors, consumers can make informed decisions when selecting CBD oil. Reputable brands, such as Enecta, typically address these considerations, offering transparency and quality assurance in their product lines.

How is CBD oil made?

The production of CBD oil involves a series of carefully controlled steps, from plant cultivation to final product formulation. This process ensures the extraction of high-quality CBD while maintaining the integrity of other beneficial compounds [Molecules].

Hemp cultivation and harvesting

The journey begins with the cultivation of hemp plants specifically bred for high CBD content. These plants are grown under controlled conditions, often utilizing organic farming practices to minimize contaminant exposure. Harvesting occurs when CBD levels peak, typically just before or during the flowering stage [Frontiers in Plant Science].

Drying and preparation

After harvest, hemp plants undergo a drying process to reduce moisture content and prevent mold growth. The dried plant material is then ground into a fine consistency, increasing surface area for more efficient extraction. This step also allows for the removal of unwanted plant parts, focusing on CBD-rich flowers and leaves [Journal of Natural Fibers].

Extraction methods

Several extraction techniques can be employed to isolate CBD from hemp:

• CO2 extraction: Utilizes pressurized carbon dioxide to pull CBD from plant material
• Ethanol extraction: Involves soaking hemp in high-grade grain alcohol to extract cannabinoids
• Oil infusion: A traditional method where hemp is heated in carrier oils to extract CBD
  

Each method offers unique advantages in terms of efficiency, purity, and scalability [Industrial Crops and Products].

Winterization and filtration

Post-extraction, the raw extract undergoes winterization to remove unwanted substances like waxes and lipids. This process involves mixing the extract with alcohol and freezing it, causing impurities to solidify for easy filtration. The resulting solution is then passed through filters to further purify the CBD [Separation and Purification Technology].

Decarboxylation and formulation

The purified CBD extract is heated to convert CBDa into its active form, CBD. Finally, the CBD is mixed with carrier oils and any additional ingredients to create the final product. Leading manufacturers, such as Enecta, carefully control this process to ensure consistent potency and quality in their CBD oils [Journal of Cannabis Research].
